'I respect myself now..'

After three decades in the business, Robbie continues to be a success - with his compilation album 'XXV' topping the charts when it was released in 2022 to mark the 25th anniversary of his solo career.

However, he has only recently started to "respect" himself as a performer.

Robbie said: "I'm just beginning to become fully formed as an entertainer. Whatever I was getting away with appealed to a great number of people because they bought tickets, came back and saw it again. It's all been bluff all my life."
